Take a break...

Yeah I did. Very nice holiday, no need for details, but very little poker thought, very much fun.

I did play a couple of HU SNG's while away (my mum's computer now has Pokerstars) and while drunk. Actually I played while drinking last night too, so my whole no play while drinking is not working at all well. Since I haven't played a serious hand of poker for a while, I guess that's OK, but I now need to knuckle down and play seriously, which means no drunken play. Self control is still on top of my list of must do's to move forward at all.

I also transferred my money off Full Tilt. I'd been contemplating this, but basically I read they no longer condone data mining, so it was a no brainer. Less donks, less rakeback (maybe) and now no data mining. So I'm back to OnGame for a while. I haven't played a hand there yet, but figure I'll be grinding the micros there for a while. We'll see.

Anyway, this next week will be back to the grind, so a few goals:
* Self control, no drunken/tilted play
* Get right back into the forums. I was feeling good about my posting, so must keep this going
* Put everything into reading the players at 6 max games, and overthinking situations
* Put more effort into good note taking

More than anything I want to label players as certain types, have a list of exploitable moves against those types, and make notes as to how they differ from that player type. If I had all this, poker would flow very easily through me I think.
